San loves to look at the 'stars' and the 'goods' that she gets for her writing work from her teacher in her school notebooks. Daily, she shows them off to me, very proudly. Yesterday was another such day. While she was admiring her work, she noticed something on the pages that she hadn't noticed before. She came to me and said, "Look, Mommy! With the stars, teacher had been giving 'this' to me all the time and I never saw it. It's so nice! What is it?" "It's your teacher's signature, San.", I said, breaking her heart.
She's growing. Growing taller and louder and smarter and getting really girlish (and tomboyish). It bothers me at times. It bothers me when people see her, talk to her, pinch her cheeks, hug her, and ask too many questions about her. It bothers me when people are around her. Well, it's just the Mommy thing. My kind of Mommy thing. Sigh! I hope I get over it soon.
San is in that phase where kids love to show off. Show off their skills, their colors, their toys, their house, their friends, just everything. It's cute, but not all the time. It's harmless, but not all the time.
It's also that phase where kids love to point out what other kids have and they don't. It's also that phase where they threaten you with their tears, their screams, and a lot of other drama. It's that phase where they know very well what works for them and what not. It's that phase where they question everything, argue about everything, and think that they know everything.
Phew!
